    Anyone notice Coach say something about Elias knocking back Braun's invitation to team, and the other two go completely nuts at him because it was Ronda he knocked back to team with. Reaction was strange, like he'd spoiled it.

    Actually to be fair to Coach, it was actually both he and Cole who screwed up talking about Braun instead of Ronda. Graves corrected them but it definitely felt like they gave the game away.

  2. 2 Booker Prize winners - The Sense of an Ending, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (really enjoyed both)

    3 Pulitzer Prize winners - The Age of Innocence, The Old Man and The Sea, The Road (preferred the Wharton over the others)

    Not a prize winner list, but the list I prefer to judge myself against is a 100 English language novels from The Guardian a couple of years ago - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/aug/17/the-100-best-novels-written-in-english-the-full-list

    There I've got 7 (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Dracula, Heart of Darkness, The Age of Innocence, Brave New World, The Big Sleep, Lord of the Flies) Not as many as I'd like, but I own about 40% of the books on there so will look to remedy that over time.

    Title history question:

     

    I'm building my massive World tag Champs off of Fire Pro Wrestling templates and I have a question about a mismatch on Wiki and Cage match:

    Kintaro Ohki supposedly held tag titles in the WWA/NWA Los Angeles territory.


    Wiki has it as Ohki and Mr. Moto.  Wiki points you to the actor Mr. Moto, but if you look up Tor Kamata, it lists him as Ohki's partner.  

    Cagematch lists that Moto partner as Charlie Chirauhi.

     

    Anyone up on their title histories know which is right?

    It was Tor Kamata working under the gimmick name of Mr Moto.

    Also, I want James Ellsworth back for one night to serve as Braun's "partner" while he singlehandedly murders The Bar.

    They missed a gag but Strowman should've come out dragging an unconscious Kalisto or some other dweeb by the foot and said "Here's my partner ref!"

    Oh, that John Cena promo.  It was AWESOME.  He was on fire.  His path to WM thing is hilarious and he had the crowd eating from the palm of his hand. 

    If Cena was a fan at WrestleMania he definitely would've been the idiot with the beach ball.

  6. Surprised nobody on this board has mentioned Dolph Ziggler dropping a Seinfeld reference on the kickoff show.

    Roberts - "We've got a question here from Sue Ellen..."

    Ziggler - "Sue Ellen Mischke, the bra-less wonder?"

    Renee seemed to get the reference, Roberts didn't.

    I don't think I've seen a match done in WWE that had everyone hooked and fooled that well.

    Gonna have to disagree with this a bit. WWE commentators have been doing this thing for years where they completely telegraph kickouts. Ranallo did it at least twice tonight - "everything is academic from here" and the ubiquitous "we have ourselves a new champion" were sure signs that the kickout was coming.
